Ghana is the ideal country for photographers from around the world to
gain experience and presents a safe and pleasant way to discover Africa.

Ghana is a great country
for photographers, its politically stable, safe and its people extremely
friendly. Its official language is English and it is widely spoken. It
provides most of the flavours of Africa, with coastal, wildlife, heritage,
waterfalls, and people to photograph. Colour is everywhere from street side
to markets. It offers beaches, lakes, and inland opportunities.

Ghana has no single
headline attraction, there is no single image, attraction or place that
could be said to represent Ghana and because of this it is often overlooked
by those looking to travel. There is only one guide book published, few maps
and in many ways you are more of an explorer here, often venturing off the
track that tourists normally tread. It's a missed opportunity with wide open
beaches, and real wildlife reserves as opposed to fenced farms.

Ghana like many
developing countries is in a state of change, with examples of older ways of
life, older traditions still practiced, but at the same time transportation
and mobile phones just about everywhere, however you could, if you wished
still find mud hut villages in areas that saw a car perhaps twice a year. It has oil,
gold, is one of the major cocoa producers, but much of its population
are still not in education, and living on under $3 a day. In December 2008 I
found a number of state employed tourism guides earning 100 GHS a month, about
£53.78.

By devoting a sub-web to Ghana we are able to do more than we could
within a section, and it is our intention to expand this over time.

The articles from the bar on the left and from the articles section
provides most of the information you will need as a visitor to this country,
within the locations section, further divided by topic, is far more
information on individual places you can visit.

Costs within Ghana are very reasonable with something for everyone, you
can find accommodation at well under £10 a night and also have a meal for
two including drinks for about the same. Transport within the country is
also plentiful and economic, allowing you to explore Ghana on a very
low budget, far less than you could do within the UK, even
allowing for the cost of getting there. On the other hand if you prefer the
VIP service, then a personal guide, 4wd car and more is affordable, and less
than you would pay on a package holiday elsewhere. Camera Images have
researched, visited many of the places we have featured and have put a VIP+
training package together, that includes just about everything except the
air fare.
